Installed 2.3.3 but...

Hi all, encouraged by all the positive comments about JPK I decided to go on and install it.
All went well, rooted without trouble then went back to the stock kernel. I restored all the apps and system data with Titanium Backup and suddenly the process com.android.systemui (the top taskbar) crashed. I rebooted the phone but the error stayed.
I tried reflashing but this time I installed the apps from scratch and used Titanium to restore the apps data, after that the system responded very stable until an hour ago when the com.android.systemui error and crash appeared again.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes?
I was on JPY before, I guess I'll try JS8 or go back to JPY
Thanks

never restore system data unless whatever ur running is the same thing you were running when you did the backup.

I absolutely agree with you. That's why I flashed again with no system data restore. But the process crashed once more.
Thanks for your input Runedrune
Any other thoughts?

But did you wipe everything before/after the flash?

Yes, everything but the (obviously) external sd card.
The only thing I didn't do was repartition. Do you think that could fix it?

Try repartition. I did with 512 pit and no problems installed this way on 6 phones.
Good luck.

This to me seems like a problem with Titanium Backup: because both times you experienced it after using it, and no one else here have reported anything like that with JVK.

Best thing for contacts is to sync with Google. As soon as you sign in to market after wiping and flashing things all contacts are restored. Clean and simple and always on hand if you lose your phone.

It explains everything related to the backup with TB and why you're experiencing this error.

It happened to me exactly the same..its because you used Titanium and restored system data.

I've had the same issues with TB, i used it in the beginning. But now i just keep a list of have-to-have apps and i sync my calendar & contacts with google.
I'm also running on 2.3.3, it runs much faster and smoother than 2.2, some lags but a lot less then stock 2.2.

Ok, I'll give it Google sync a try and backup my data using other means. Does anyone know how long does it take to make a full backup via Google?
And will this include wifi and apn settings?
Thanks again

As far as i know, but i could be wrong, you can only sync calendar & contacts via Google. So settings of your phone won't be backed up.

Success!! Thank you all for your suggestions. Gingerbread works smoothly now. Working through the first battery depleting cycles now, time will tell.
Sadly my car home app from samsung for the vibrant car dock doesn't work anymore. It does trigger car mode but it won't play the music through the dock's line out nor keep the screen on. Anyone else experienced this?
Maybe wait for a Gingerbread supported version of the app?
Thanks once more

[Q] Hacked Phone

I have a buddy who has a phone that was hacked. His GF has access to his Texts and Call logs. She even knows when he is resetting his phone as she sends him text messages telling him to make sure he does a good job wiping it... CRAZY
What is the root cause for this, how can it be prevented... and what exactly is she doing>?

I doubt any mod or program with or without root access can notify someone when they enter recovery to wipe their phone. Beside how would a phone be able send a sms while in recovery?

Actually not really sure what its called but theres a app that someone that gets ahold of your phone can install that sends your txts to there phone and they no what calls were made.tell your buddy to look in system apps and look for anything out of the ordinary.

This should not be impossible to do with an app. Even with tasker, it is possible to create an app (app factory) that will have a trigger (sms sent or sms received or phone call received or phone call placed), and send a text to a predetermined number with details of the sent/received text or the tel# called. And these text messages can be set to not be stored on the phone.
Yes, I think this will work, because I have set my phone up with such a tasker profile (created an app from that profile, and hid it from the app drawer) - so that if my phone is lost, I can send it a specific text message, and it will respond back to me (at a predetermined phone# with GPS coordinates of the phone), without leaving a trace of the message with GPS coordinates on my phone.
It should be possible to change this to intercept any sms message (incoming or outgoing), and send that message to another phone#
Or, she may just have access to your buddy's service provider's account details (log in to the website, see incoming/outgoing call details easily)

Don't stick your d*ck in crazy

Have him use titanium backup from the play store to back up his apps then have him factory reset his phone root stays then have him get his apps back through titanium backup.

Sounds kinda like cerberus. If your friend flashed the stock rom like mdc or mdl he should be able to remove the app. I know there is a setting to hide the app. And if he had root you can make the app non-removable. The only way to remove it is to flash the complete stock rom.

Use root explorer and delete from system or flash a rom and its gone. If this is stock then you have one over exaggerating friend. Or maybe you want to do this to your girlfriend and are too embarrassed to say the truth.

Most certainly not joking. I looked into his app drawer/app folder, and could not find any apps out of the ordinary. At first, I though maybe she was logged into his Facebook messenger account, so I uninstalled it... it made no difference.

MMS over WiFi (T-Mobile)

I searched, but the mobile app sucks for filtering results so hopefully someone has an answer.
Is there anyway to send MMS over WiFi on T-Mobile? I know I could use a WiFi messaging app like whatsapp, but I don't want it to be something were both parties need it installed.
Anyone have a hacked MMS.apk I can side load that does this?
I'm currently on xenon ROM and it doesn't support this feature.

No, you need mobile data on your plan or you'll likely be charged for not adhering to your plan bounds.

I have mobile data on my plan. My problem is that in my house I only have a couple bars of edge service. So when I send a group message via MMS it takes forever and if I send a picture message it takes hours if it sends at all.

There's no other way. Perhaps you can complain to Tmo about your service or get a signal booster from them.

Well that stinks. Reason I ask is b/c someone told me that the MMS.apk in ChaOS ROM has this feature. I was able to get the MMS.apk for that ROM, but didn't have success side loading it on xenon ROM.
I didn't care for chaOS ROM to even see if it was true or not.
What is the proper way to side load an MMS.apk? I renamed my currentcmms.apk to MMS.apk.bak and than moved the new MMS.apk to system/app and installed it. Changed permusssions and Rebooted the phone, but the app would just fail.
Than it was a pain to get the original to work again.

It doesn't send of Wi-Fi what it does is enable your mobile data long enough to send the mms and then goes back to Wi-Fi. You can't send mms over Wi-Fi unless the same app is installed on both phones. There are some messaging apps that claim to so it but what they do is download the app to their servers and then tries to send it with their messaging system. Which is against most laws but legal in come countries.

Use titanium backup for user apps just copy your tb folder to pc or any removable storage so you can later just copy to your lg i do this with pics and stuff also

Go into settings, accounts and sync, Google and make sure it is set to sync contacts and pics. For sms use an app like go sms pro. Back up the sms and copy the files to your computer until your new phone arrives.
